Happy Monday! How are you on this lovely day?

I had so much fun doing this reading as the weather has been stupendous and I have spent the last two days playing in the dirt and making new homes for all my plants. It’s like therapy and grounding all in one session – I love it! Thus, I plonked myself down on the grass, surrounded by plants galore and bees buzzing in their lovely lazy way and really tapped into the nurturing energy of the earth. We are still working with the wonderful Sacred Rebels as they haven’t told me they are done yet.

So let’s tune in (as my gorgeous Yoga Guruess and mentor Sat Kaur would say), so that you are open and receptive to the guidance, input, healing or inspiration you need this week.

I invite you to start focusing on your breath, you want to breath into your belly and then eventually all the way down to your delicious toes. As you take in those long nourishing breaths imagine a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolises your life journey. Just notice it and and enjoy it. Your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. No one has the same river or the exact same journey to take. As you follow your glorious golden river, see it come to a beautiful pool and there you can feel your truth, your being and the unconditional love of all that is holding you and whispering gently to you. When you feel ready, pick the card that resonates for you.

Now holding the energy that whatever you need is right here, right now – let’s go see.

RECEIVING

You are so loved. Your every need is witnessed and responded to by the universe. However, you sometimes forget this. You become swept up in the momentum of habitual consciousness, and you forget to take a moment to stop, breathe and be. In that moment you can receive the love of the universe that is receiving you. It will nourish you with contentment and energy. You have not done this enough so your soul is parched and drying out. Energy has been going out of you but there is not enough coming back in. It is time to bring something back in for you. Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive, when you openly embrace a gift and are so happy with it, the universe is fully received by you. In this space there is joyful communion between you and life, energy flows more freely and magic happens. You are a radiant sun in human clothing. An exquisite life experience is your birthright. Enjoy it! Soak it up. All of it. Including the restoration of sacred rest. Forget your worries for a while. Switch off. Do something else. Let it all go and it will all flow.

POWER OF ATTRACTION

There is such wonder awaiting you. There are so many beautiful adventures and so much magic yet to be. Can you keep your heart open to what is coming towards you, without surrendering your experience of this moment y becoming too future oriented? You are a big soul and with that often comes big dreams. You might worry that you want too much out of life. Perhaps you think that you are only capable of small dreams. This oracle is reminding you there are stages of creation. You can’t build a house without a foundation and then flooring. Your big life dreams are a work in progress. Just like you. You are going to attract whatever is needed to complete your work in progress and bring it to fruition. Remain open to receive and trust in the unfolding of your life experiences. Do not turn away. All of the necessary elements are coming together. Allow this integration to occur so you can manifest your dreams.

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know. You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it. Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. It’s gathering up all its’ might, power and force that it will need to push above the soil and burst up into the light. Trust yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom. You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Don’t resist any points of instability in your life. This even applies to your most treasured relationships or creative projects. That instability is just a growing pain because more consciousness, more love and more light wants to infiltrate and pervade all parts of your life. Choose to flow and grow.

What a glorious story unfolded in this weeks reading! Be open to receiving and with that you ignite the power of attraction and then you are being asked to trust yourself as you move through this process. Delicious! Wishing you a wondrous week of awareness, play and abundance.

Transformation and a Dogwood tree…

Jenny Heston · 4:55 pm ·

I don’t know about you but the word Transform or the phrase “This person experienced a transformation” seem to be popping up a lot lately. Me being me I used to be open to this concept but also a tad skeptical. Can someone really transform? Can that really happen?

So a little story for you. Grab a cuppa tea and let’s chat.

18 years ago my Dad died suddenly and in his honour I bought a Dogwood tree, as that was his favourite tree, and fairly much daily he and I would go explore and hike with dogs together. I put his ashes under the tree and planted it with great care and surrounded it with all the herbs and flowers he loved.

5 years after that my youngest was born. So in his honour and celebration I bought a plum tree and put the placenta underneath it when it was planted. Both trees grew happily, healthily and strongly until the goats got out. Now if you don’t know anything about goats, they will eat almost anything! In fact I have seen them eat tin cans and tires!

Thus, one day the goats busted out of their pen when no one was around and they did an amazing job on the dogwood and turned it into a small stump and then proceeded to have a good nibble on the plum tree. I carefully bandaged up the dogwood and the plum with hockey tape (as that was all I had), gave them lots of nutrients and hoped for the best.

11 years ago I moved from that property after an abusive marriage and there was no way I was going to leave those trees there. So I dug up the dogwood and all the dirt around it and under it, I also dug up the plum tree, wrapped its roots and soil in a sheet and took them both with me, along with my belongings and my kids. At our new home the kids and I dug a great big hole, and as I looked at this stump of a dogwood tree I decided it would be best to chop it up and put it and all its dirt into the hole and plant the plum tree on top. Which is what we did.

5 years later I noticed that the plum tree leaves were changing and no longer was it producing a gorgeous little plum or two. Odd. I took a good look at the leaves and couldn’t figure out what was happening to them – okay this is odd.

Very odd.

Over the next 4 years there were no plums, the leaves were totally different and there were no blossoms at all, but there was a sense of transformation. Then last year for the first time it blossomed, just a few mindst you. Whoot, whoot, plums again.

No.

The blooms were gorgeous but they were a dogwood flower! Excuse me? How, Why, What? I had and still have no clue.

Today, I walked outside and it was as if the tree exploded!

There are over 200 blooms on it and they are all dogwood flowers which have now become one of my most favourite flowers.

So if you ever doubt the capacity to transform, remember this tree.

If you ever doubt your strength to hold your center and BE, remember this tree (after all it was cut up and in a hole).

If you ever doubt your ability to blossom and thrive against all odds, remember this tree.

Happy transforming!

Weekly Reading May 2nd

Jenny Heston · 5:18 pm ·

Happy Wonderful May! Do you have lovely flowers coming into bloom where you are? We have been very blessed with fantabulous warm weather and all the lilacs are in full bloom. So as I sit outside in an early evening there is a gorgeous wafting of their delicious perfume on the breeze as it undulates by. Deliciously Heavenly!

With us being in a new month I did think of using a different deck, but I have to admit, this wonderful Sacred Rebels Oracle deck keeps calling to me, so I am going to keep answering until it says it is time for a change.

I invite you, wherever you are to just slow down for a few moments and take a gentle pause. (Of course if you are driving that could be a tad tricky!) Envision a gorgeous woodland path, can you see it?

You feel pulled to follow this path with its cherry trees and apple trees all in blossom lining the edges of the path and the petals gently floating down to land on the bright green grass below. As you walk along you can you see an opening, a glade where the sunlight is dappled as it filters through the canopy of leaves above and there is an old stone bench. You sit down on the bench and as you do you can feel all your stress, tension and anxiety flowing out of your body and into the solid earth beneath you. You look around and a sense of ease, joy and serenity flows in through the top of your head and all the way down into your toes as you take a deep healing, cleansing breathe and gently close your eyes and smile to yourself at how perfect everything is.

In this moment know you are guided.

Now let’s go see what guidance you received.

SEEING THE TRUE YOU

Sometimes we believe what others tell us we are, as though the self we see reflected back to us through their eyes is truth. You have been putting rather too much faith in the reflections others have of you – to the point that you might not be honouring all that you are and all that you are becoming, because you believe too little of yourself.

You are to begin to develop the art of direct perception. This is the ability to recognise yourself not only in the eyes of others, but from how you feel about yourself, how you experience yourself and how you observe yourself (with compassion and kindness) from within. This is a step towards a radical empowerment that does not require perfection in order for you to recognise you are loveable and have much to offer. It is empowerment based on the acceptance of all that you are.

If you are getting confused about who you are and your motives or actions based on what others are saying or how they are responding to you, step back. In your quest to be a responsible person, you may be unintentionally taking on the feelings of others, making their reflections of you more than they are in truth. More often than not reflections are more about the state of the reflector than what is being reflected. Let those external perceptions go. Can you just acknowledge yourself? Do so and be free!

WHAT IS ALREADY WITH YOU

You hold in your hand that which you seek. In other words, the pair of spectacles you have been rummaging around the house for, are sitting on top of your head. What you are seeking, perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose. You may not like this idea! Of course there is unlimited creative potential and always something more that can be – yet in this instance, it is important for you to know that you already have what you need and what you want.

Acknowledge that everything necessary for success is with you now. All you need do is accept this and act with what you have available to you. Don’t make the mistake of believing that what you need is behind you, lies with another or is yet to appear. You have all that you need to take the next step in your life and from that, all else will flow. You are more ready than you think you are. You are more prepared than you realise.

All that you need in this moment is just one sweet act of nourishment. That is enough to take you out of backwards nostalgia or regret, and forwards into what is awaiting you now. Be brave. Dig deep within. And enjoy the sweet surrender.

AFTER THE STORM

There’s a thunderstorm about. It is either headed your way or just passing through now. Don’t make a thunderstorm mean more than what it is, though. You don’t have to fear it. You might even feel excitement about it. After all, a thunderstorm is just nature’s way of gathering energy together that needs to be released. With a release of tension, relief and freedom soon follow, often with a fresh perspective and perhaps the gift of a promising hopeful vision for your future.

There is, in life and in the creative process, a need to allow for wild storms. Without this building and releasing of energy, we would suffer from boredom and stagnancy. The storm wisdom offers you the gift of bringing things to a head, and clearing them away, so that the energy can be freed from a pattern that has had its day, and is ready to become something new.

Even amongst the chaos of change and in moments of anxiety, know that you have so much light and trust in your heart that you can see the storm is but a passing process, and nothing that need worry. This storm of sorts, is transformational and supportive of your growth. It is going to clear away cobwebs and free you, open you, to new creative energy and life. So let go, hold only to your inner self and allow everything to be cleansed in the sacred storm. Remember, there are no rainbows without a little rain.

Have a glorious week, remember to Breathe, to Trust and to Celebrate!!

Faerie Offering

Jenny Heston · 6:21 pm ·

This Beltane, celebrate your interconnection to the web of all life, including the life of the faerie folk, also known as the aliveness and consciousness within all of nature. A handful of birdseed can be an excellent offering to the fae, as can tumbled or faceted crystals, shiny coins, and beer, ale, or champagne in walnut shells!

When you leave an offering to the fairies, do so with love and open-hearted generosity. After all, these are the beautiful beings who help our beloved planet to sparkle, shine, burgeon, and bloom. Making an offering to the fairies will help draw more fairies to your yard or other outdoor area, while also sensitizing you to the magical realm of the fae.

But let’s be honest, there are some glorious ways to acknowledge the amazing fae who flit in and out of your lives on on a day to day basis.

Build a faerie door on a tree.

Put glorious crystals out on the earth (preferably your garden or a potted plant).

Most certainly if you have some berries, put them in a tea cup as an offering.

Put a little pile of birdseed outside and watch the flickers, sparrows and others flood in and snarfle it up.

Rose petals – Roses are said to have the highest and purest vibration of any living thing. As such, their fresh petals can help attract fairies and open the portal to the realm of the fae.

Wildflower paper – take a piece of paper write your gorgeous wishes to the fae, gently dampen it under the tap and pop some wildflower seeds in it and then plant it!

Weekly Reading April 25th

Jenny Heston · 5:23 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday! How are you? How was the Full Moon energy of last week for you? This reading was done outside today whilst the rain was falling, but I had a huge brolly (umbrella) and was purging papers and things that no longer served me. Thus, had a roaring fire at my back. Also very fun and cool thing for me – I received a tiara in the mail from an unknown sender – so I wore it and felt regal, calm and blessed!

I’m so glad you are here and I invite you in this moment to drop into your body. Can you feel yourself here? Can you feel your feet on the ground, can you feel your breath coming in and out – is it at chest level, or deeper? If you are open to it, put your hands palms together and place them at your heart centre with gentle pressure on the sternum. Can you feel your heartbeat under your thumbs?

That is your Prana, your life force energy pulsing in you. Release the day for a few moments and breathe past your hands and feel your belly, ribs and chest expand and as you exhale through an open mouth do it with a sigh. Gently feel your shoulders relax and if your jaw is a tad tight place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Let’s take another breath in and feel that gorgeous oxygen nourishing and charging all of your cells and then sigh it out. One more time – breathe in deep, deep into your little toe and sigh it out.

For the last few weeks I have been using a little prayer when I work with my cards, and if it feels comfie for you, I invite you to try it. “Allow me to see clearly, the solution or guidance that I need. So I no longer need to worry I am doing the wrong thing.”

The lovely stones that are working with us this week are Aventurine, Amatrine (see the band of Citrine in the Amethyst?) and Red Jasper.

Have you picked? Then let’s go look at the guidance you are meant to receive.

SOFTLY, SOFTLY, THE TENDER TOUCH

The feminine wisdom of gentleness can assist you now. When we are at a point in life where we want to attain greater things, but don’t necessarily have a proportionally greater supply of energy at our disposal, it is time to work smarter rather than harder. This is the way of feminine wisdom.

The feminine way is not about force. Nor is it about driving, striving, pushing or grabbing at what we can in order to create. It is about inviting what we wish for to come into the space we have provided for it – internally and in our lives. This method cultivates more energy, causes less stress and attracts what is desired. It is manifestation by invitation rather than by will or force.

You don’t need to push quite so hard to receive what is naturally coming to you. Your “push” comes from a place of uncertainty over whether or not you will succeed. You need to relax and have more faith in yourself. All things come in time – rightly and according to a great loving wisdom. Rebel against any voice of fear; within you or around you, that tells you otherwise. You have been working very, very hard. You have learned much and accomplished much but it now time to change your approach. Let go of any force in your approach to creation now. Everything serves a purpose and learning the benefits and limitations of the more forceful way of manifestation through effort and willpower was a useful lesson. You are now beginning to create on a far grander scale that is beyond what an individual can manifest through willpower alone.

DEFEND TO THE END, THE WORTHWHILE

Beneath the lies and illusions, pretty as they seem, you know what is worthwhile. All that is genuinely and truly essential for the heart to throb with life is worthwhile. Anything that dulls it or suffocates its vibrant aliveness, must be questioned, challenged, and more than likely cast aside, for the heart is our key to living an authentic life.

You are a sacred warrior – a defender of the heart. You have cried genuine tears of your own grief and also the grief of the world. You have felt the need to protect the presence of love, for whilst it is exceptionally powerful, it can too easily be smothered under lies and fear.

The sacred warrior is vigilant that the presence of love is not chipped away by fear, criticism, doubt or untruths. The darkness will be intelligent and sneaky. It will tell you that it doesn’t matter, that this one time you can forget what you promised, that you are just one person and that you can’t make difference. The sacred warrior within will fight with love and honour to be true to what has meaning, and never, ever allow it to be cast aside – even if it seems easier in the moment. You’re being asked to stay strong and stand your ground. What is happening, or soon will be happening is worthwhile. So hold tight. Ask for help to heal.

RECEIVING

Energy has been going out of you but there is not enough coming back in. It is time to bring something back in for you.

Do you know how much joy the universe gains from being able to give to you? When you delight in what you receive, when you openly embrace a gift and are so happy with it, the universe is fully received by you. In this space there is joyful communion between you and life, energy flows more freely and magic happens. You are a radiant sun in human clothing. An exquisite life experience is your birthright. Enjoy it! Soak it up. All of it. Including the restoration of sacred rest. Forget your worries for a while. Switch off. Do something else. Let it all go and it will all flow.

Wishing you a fantabulous week and know you are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment in time and doing frigging awesome!
